Weather Information
Normally about 20-50 inches of rainfall each year.
Has a wet/dry climate.In the Summer it rains a lot, in the winter it rarely rains and is very dry.Slide6
Maps and Location
Locations mostly in Africa and in some parts of South America and Australia.Slide7
Seasonal Information
In the winter, this biome receives little to no amount of precipitation and usually is dry. Rivers tend to try up and little shrubs and other plants shrivel up and die. Animals have to migrate. The temperature ranges from about 68- 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the summer, this biome receives basically all of its annual rain. This means in the summer it has a wet climate. The plants begin to flourish and the rivers flow freely. Animals will migrate back in this season which usually is around the beginning of May. The temperature ranges from 78- 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Slide8
Biome Features
Mostly grass with dispersed trees and shrubsScientists have discovered that almost every type of soil there is was discovered in these types of biomes.
The savanna covers half of Africa, and is also found in large areas of Australia, South America, and even India.
This type of biome is very vast and usually covers up large amounts of a landmassSlide9
Tourist Activities
Many National Parks to visit in savannasVisit the wild life and go pet a zebra or something
If interested you could go huntingSlide10
Traveling Information
The Kruger National Park makes up more than 7,700 square miles.Roads in this park include more than 150 different types of mammals and 500 different species of birds.
There is also the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park that includes red sand dunes, and dry river beds that are home to large herds of desert antelope called gemsbok which is where this National Park gets its name from. Here you will see many different species of mammals as well including
meerkats, cheetahs, and leopards.Slide11
Environmental Issues
Because the Savanna can be very dry in the winter, this may lead to wildfires, which are common in the savanna. These
fires burn the little bit of plants that are still alive during this time of the season.
Humans have also harmed the environment by over farming the soil. If the biome is too dry, there won't be any water for the animals to drink, and no vegetation for them to eat off of. Therefore, they will die of dehydration or starvation,
and eventually become extinct. The problem with a population becoming extinct is that it can affect the entire community.Slide12
Cautions and Warnings
There are a lot of mosquitos in this biome that carry malaria, therefore you can actually die from visiting the savanna.
Also, the crime rate is very high surrounding the savanna. So if you are visiting approach with caution.Slide13
